The Left’s secret prejudice against Rwanda scheme helps guarantee evil traffickers get rich while more migrants die
Rwanda slurs
WHAT is the Left’s secret prejudice against Rwanda?
Why do Labour and Lib Dem MPs and hand-wringing churchmen rail against flying illegal migrants out there?
The African nation’s High Commissioner in London bitterly accuses them of “outdated and backward” views of his country.

Now it aims to muscle in on the US market, producing news for liberals designed to nick advertising and clicks from the New York Times and others.

IT is patently unfair for transwomen who went through puberty as males to compete in women’s sports.
Their extra muscle, speed and strength provide an obvious advantage.
That will rob female athletes everywhere of trophies and, at professional level, wreck their livelihoods.
So British Cycling has rightly insisted trans riders compete instead in an “open” category.
We sympathise with top trans cyclist Emily Bridges — though she does herself no favours calling the ruling “genocide”.
In a difficult situation, the gravest injustice has rightly been swerved.

GERMANY’S recession blows a hole in the Remainers’ relentless Brexit-bashing.
The world’s economic woes are down to Covid and Russia’s invasion.
Yet here the EU’s fans dishonestly blame Brexit, even for staff shortages despite our population soaring by 606,000 last year.
Every day since we finally left the EU at the end of 2020 has been blighted by Covid and war, triggering sky-high energy prices and food inflation.
Germany, the engine room of the EU, is on its knees.
